WELLBEING

Wellbeing for players.

​

LIFE FIT recognises the importance of the following:​

​​

• Face-to-face counselling, as well as contact via the phone, WhatsApp, text, or online.

​

• Specialist awareness programmes for gambling, alcohol and drug addictions.
   

• Making counselling services available to footballers facing mental health challenges.
   

• Players should be referred on immediately for whatever support they need – counselling, psychology, psychiatry, addiction counselling, as part of the service.
   

• Promoting the key message that mental health issues are not just related to depression and suicidal thoughts, and include anxiety, stress and low confidence.
   

• Recognising the signs early and getting help prevents matters getting out of hand.
